This volume serves as a modern-day Merck Manual on treating disorders from the head to the toes. Avicenna offers hundreds of prescriptions using only natural herbs and plants in healing. He was a remarkable wise healer (Hakim) whose understanding of disorders of the human body had no historic parallel as it is not theoretical, but a practical application of healing techniques and prescriptions that he actually used with his patients. I recommend this reference manual to those seeking alternative natural herbs and plants. It also has a great index of the healing properties of each of the entries.
To translate a book like Avicenna's Canon, with all those herbs and compounds old and scientific names to plain English, is such a monumental job that is beyond my apprehension... Ms. Bakhtiar makes is feel like a breeze, but this is no walk in a park... A must have for anyone into Oriental and Alternative Medicine.
